A thorough exploration of the atomic structures and properties ofthe essential engineering interfaces--an invaluable resourcefor students, teachers, and professionals The most up-to-date, accessible guide to solid-vapor,solid-liquid, and solid-solid phase transformations, thisinnovative book contains the only unified treatment of these threecentral engineering interfaces. Employing a simple nearest-neighborbroken-bond model, Interfaces in Materials focuses on metal alloysin a straightforward approach that can be easily extended to alltypes of interfaces and materials. Enhanced with nearly 300illustrations, along with extensive references and suggestions forfurther reading, this book provides: * A simple, cohesive approach to understanding the atomicstructure and properties of interfaces formed between solid,liquid, and vapor phases * Self-contained discussions of each interface--allowingseparate study of each phase transformation * A comparative look at the different interfaces, includingatomic structure and crystallography; anisotropy, roughening, andmelting; interfacial stability and segregation; continuous andledge growth models; and atomistic modeling * An analysis of nearest-neighbor broken-bond results againstthermodynamic and kinetic descriptions of the interfaces * Problem sets at the end of each chapter, emphasizing the keyconcepts detailed in the text Spanning the fields of chemical, electrical and computerengineering, materials science, solid-state physics, andmicroscopy, Interfaces in Materials bridges a major gap in theliterature of surface and interface science.

This book contains two volumes of the latest developments in diffusional and displacive phase transformations in materials. It also delves into the emerging areas of phase transformations research, such as transformations in nano- and constrained-systems as well as computer modeling of phase transformations. It covers recent advances in the fundamental aspects of solid-to-solid phase transformations in inorganic materials by making critical comparisons between experiment, theory and simulation in metals, ceramics, minerals and other materials. Traditional topics, such as order/disorder reactions and precipitation, are examined as well as experimental techniques, such as atom probe field ion microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction, and new methods of microstructural simulation in both diffusional and displacive phase transformations. From the Solid-to-Solid Phase Transformation in Inorganic Materials Conference which was held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 29 - June 3, 2005.
